Some people use version numbers like 0.0.0 for their games. What's the logic to incrementing each of the three numbers? Like Ultimatum is currently at version 0.8.6 and even Byond is on version 464.1066 rather than plainly 464 or 465.

Oh, I didn't know it was that formalized.

BYOND essentially operates a major.build version system.The first number denotes the major release version and the second represents the build number for all versions. I'm not entirely sure what their criteria are for pushing a new major version number, but the build number is increased whenever they release a new binary.

K, I just wasn't sure if someone goes "Meh, feels like a 464.102 or 464.110 to me. Let's call it that." O_o
